Letter from the Editors

Welcome to the 4th Quarter 2012 edition of Pharma Bulletin, the newsletter of the NJ Chapter of ISPE. As 2012 came to a close we reflected back on a successful year of transition for the new Board and thank the membership for your support and participation. Much activity has occurred within the Chapter over the past 12 months, including several Professional Development Day events, an extremely successful Supplier Showcase event at the new MetLife Stadium and a host of successful and enjoyable social events. We plan on continuing with this positive trend and have revamped the 2013 event calendar with some new and exciting programs and venues. Beginning with this edition of the Pharma Bulletin I have turned over the responsibility of publishing the quarterly newsletter to Rich Smith with CRB Builders. In this issue, we will review the Professional Development Day event held at The Tech Center at Mercer in West Windsor, the ISPE Annual Meeting in San Francisco and the Grand Pharmaceutical Networking Dinner meeting held at Rutgers University. Of course, we will also continue with the balance of our regular columns and features and reiterate that as NJ Chapter Members, this is YOUR publication. If you have suggestions for new or different features or articles, see areas for improvement or change, or wish to make a contribution, please contact us with your thoughts or ideas at any time. As you are probably aware, the NJ Chapter’s next event is the Gala & Student Scholarship / Fund Raising Event scheduled for March 1. This first major event of the year promises to be a fun and memorable experience that you won’t want to miss. This will be followed by the Student Poster Competition in mid-April and then another exciting event that you won’t want to miss — the annual golf outing on May 13. We have moved the location of the outing to Neshanic Valley Golf Course. If you haven’t played this course yet you are in for a great day of golf. In 2012 Neshanic Valley was named as the 30th best public course in the nation and second best in New Jersey. Watch for invitations in the coming months and start lining up your foursomes! We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Chapter event and continue to encourage your active participation in ISPE. Harry Segner Rich Smith Secretary – Board of Directors Chair-Communications Committee New Jersey Chapter of ISPE New Jersey Chapter of ISPE

ISPE New Jersey Chapter Volume 19, Number 4

President’s Message The ISPE New Jersey Chapter continues to plan outstanding events for its membership. Our next program is the Gala & Student Scholarship / Fund Raising Event. This event is scheduled for March 1 from 7:00p.m. to 12:00a.m. A Casino Night with raffles, appetizers followed by dinner and dancing to music by the Infernos will be offered. For those who attended last year’s Gala, this year’s event has built on the good times enjoyed by all and promises to surpass last year’s venue. This will be an outstanding event and surely enjoyed by all who attend. Don’t forget to register as proceeds will go towards the ISPE New Jersey Scholarship fund. This year’s programs calendar has changed from previous years. Rather than scheduling monthly sessions, our plan is to offer quality programs that will attract all sectors of our membership. Our scheduled programs include:

a. Student Poster Competition and Professional Development in April

b. Chapter Golf Outing in May

c. Technical Showcase in September

d. Professional Development Day in November/December

Of course, the summer baseball outing and an occasional plant tour will be considered / and perhaps scheduled. Programs provide the financial independence we require in order to operate freely as a Chapter. Each event offers an opportunity to exchange information and network with your local peers. We are always looking for dedicated individuals who would like to assist with the planning and operations of Chapter activities. I encourage anyone who has ever thought of joining a Chapter committee to reach out to a New Jersey Board Member and learn how your involvement can make a difference. Members are the strength of our Chapter. Without your continuous support, our Chapter would be a hollow organization without an ability to provide meaningful programs or services. Your participation is greatly appreciated, as it represents a strong sign of support for your Chapter.

Scott Hickok, President ISPE New Jersey Chapter

The ISPE New Jersey Chapter held its annual Professional Development Day at the Tech Center at Mercer in West Windsor, New Jersey on November 30, 2012. The three educational offerings included: Sterile Manufacturing Facilities; Pharmaceutical Water Generation; and Product Lifecycle Project Management. The speakers featured W. Bruce Eckman, PhD., Joe Manfredi, David Kristjanson, PMP, Steven Moccio, PMP, Dr. Gary Forrest of Pfizer, and Michiel E. Ultee, PhD. Chief Scientific Officer - Laureate Biopharmaceutical Services, Inc. The event was organized as an all-day, multi-track educational series that allowed the attendees to attend multiple sessions while enjoying the features of a state-of-the-art facility serving food and refreshments all day. The event was capped off with a holiday cocktail and networking hour.

Professional Development Day



On Sunday night before the start of the 2012 Annual meeting about 25 members and guests of the NJ Chapter gathered for dinner in San Francisco at a fantastic Italian restaurant called North Beach Restaurant. The restaurant features Tuscan-style ambiance surrounded by original works of art, exquisite Floren-tine floor tiles, Carrara marble, Venetian granite, hand-crafted cherry wood paneling, and vaulted ceilings created by Italian craftsmen. Nancy Tomoney graciously arranged a prefixe menu with the Owner that included appetizers, dinner and dessert in the wine cellar. Immediately adjacent to the dining area in the cellar is the Prosciutto Room where the owner proudly cures Prosciutto. ISPE Annual Meeting – NJ Chapter Dinner.

ISPE Annual Meeting – NJ Chapter Dinner

Kerri Killen from Stevens Institute of Technology receiving her award in the Undergraduate Student category, from Randy Perez and Charlotte Enghave Fruergaard representing ISPE.

Shyamala Pillai from NJIT receiving her award in the Graduate Student category from Randy Perez and Charlotte Enghave Fruergaard representing ISPE.

International Student Poster Competition Awards

The International Student Poster Competition Awards honor the top undergraduate and graduate student posters among finalists who won competitions earlier in the year and as selected by judges at the Annual Meeting.

The Student Poster Competition is held during the ISPE Annual Meeting. The international winners (undergraduate and graduate) were announced at the Membership Luncheon. Both the undergraduate and graduate student winners receive cash awards and the opportunity to publish research in ISPE’s magazine, Pharmaceutical Engineering, as well as other Affiliate/Chapter publications.

Before and after the completion of judging, the posters of all competitors were displayed for the attendees of the Annual Meeting to view. We are proud to announce that both winners are from the New Jersey Chapter!


Representatives from a few of the country's largest pharmaceutical corporations dined with Rutgers University students on November 27 to network at the Grand Pharmaceutical Networking Dinner. Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer are just a few of the 17 companies present in the Life Sciences Building on Busch campus in New Brunswick, NJ. The dinner, hosted by the University's ISPE chapter featured two hours of networking and presentation of graduate student’s research and ended with an address from Remo Colarusso, Vice President of Pharmaceutical Development and Manufacturing Sciences at Johnson & Johnson. He spoke to 170 students from organizations including the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Omega Chi Epsilon National Honor Society for Chemical Engineers. Colarusso, a 1983 Rutgers University alumnus, said there was little progress in the technological landscape and development processes, so he encourages students to take up careers in these fields. Jumana Dakka, president of the ISPE Student Chapter, said the recognition of graduate students' research was a main feature of the event, as well as a method to promote the pharmacy department to the industry giants. “I think our School of Engineering really needs more events like this," said Dakka, a School of Engineering senior. "We have the SHE SWE MEET Career Fair every year, but we don't have anything that's really student-led, student-organized."

BRAIN PUZZLER #6 The Brain Puzzler for this issue again comes courtesy of Paul Malinowski of BD and the rules remain the same. Please forward your responses to [email protected] (the new Communications Chairman and Editor of Pharma Bulletin) and include a reference to Brain Puzzler #6 in the subject line to ensure your e-mail is not blocked as spam or some other mischievous item. The first person to send the correct response will be rewarded with a $75.00 credit to be applied to any of the upcoming events they may wish to attend. Good luck! Brain Puzzler #6 Question: During her formative years as an undergraduate student, an adventurous Young Professional (YP) spent a summer abroad, as a member of an archaeology team. The team came upon some ancient Roman ru-ins. The ruins included a stone quarry, a fortress, an aqueduct, some houses and a series of roads. The roads were stone-paved. The Romans were famous for having constructed thousands of miles of these paved roads throughout their Empire. The archeology team theorized that the Romans probably obtained the stones, for the roads, from the local quarry. After careful observation, the clever YP determined that the Romans drove their carts and wagons on the left side of the road, same as the British do today. How did the YP know this?

Career Doctor Don Answers Your Questions

Don Sutaria is Founder and President of CareerQuest, located in New Jersey and New York. Don earned his MS degree in Management from Kansas State University, an IE (Professional) degree in International Management and Personnel Relations from Colum-bia University, and obtained New York University’s postgraduate Certificate in Adult Career Planning and Development. A popular speaker and author, his latest book is titled, Career and Life Counseling From the Heart (Your Career is a Pathway to Your Soul!).

Question: Can you give me some tips as to how I can make my present job in the pharmaceutical industry recession-proof? H. R. C. (PA) Answer: Dear H. R. C.: Without offending you, let me change the semantics of your question a little bit. There is no such thing as a recession-proof job, as you have probably observed over the past 10 years. Job security is a figment of our imagination. Even the so-called recession-proof industries like Food and Phar-maceutical have suffered many layoffs in recent years. The only thing you can do is to try and make your job recession-resistant by following a strategy which I will outline below, in three segments. Let me caution you. My tips may appear to be commonsense axioms or empty platitudes, but do you follow them? Knowing what to do is one thing but doing it is another. The $64,000 question is: "Are we doing it?" 1. Hone Your Relationships If I took a survey of readers of this column, I bet at least 50% of you may have been laid off or quit in dis-gust to get another job. I have been laid off too, not once but twice, in my long and chequered career. Once it was due to a personality conflict (which had nothing to with the quality and work output), and another time due to lack of work / loss of major contracts (which is understandable). Time and again, studies have shown that in 90% of the cases people are laid off because of relationships, and 10% because of incompetence! Does that surprise you? Personal chemistry with the boss is very important, because your boss is the company to you! Repair your relationships, if necessary, during these economic times. Networking is very crucial. Join professional or-ganizations and become active in them, if you are not already doing so. 2. Be Visible and Available 90% of success is just showing up!, a quote attributed to comedian Woody Allen. There is more than a ker-nel of truth in it. If you are out of sight, you are out of mind. Be available to pitch in as a part of your team. During recessionary times, come in at least 15-30 minutes early, and leave 15-30 minutes late. I don't mean in a phony way but in a sincere way, to shoulder a little greater share of your department's workload. Work-ing harder and smarter does not make you a doormat!

3. Be Easy Going and Show Your Usefulness Don't complain or whine in front of peers, subordinates or supervisor. Thoroughbreds don't whine! Keep your temper under control, and if your flare-ups are frequent under pressure, consider taking an anger man-agement course. Develop your reputation of being helpful and useful. Complete your projects on time, within budget, and simultaneously maintaining a high quality. Under promise and over deliver, because the other way around will be disastrous! I want to wish you good luck during these turbulent times. Thank you for your stimulating question and keep me informed of your experiences, after following the suggestions given above. [Special note: Please send your career-related questions to [email protected] and also visit our website at www.careerquestcentral.com. Questions will be selected based on their contem-porary nature and general interest. We regret we will not be able to send individual replies as in the past, because of the large volume of domestic and international e-mails. Your patience and under-standing are appreciated.]
